Liste Rouge

A French "red list" service that removes your phone number from the universal telephone directory.

Full definition

The liste rouge ("red list") is a free option you request from your French telecom operator to remove your phone number, and the associated name and address, from the universal directory (annuaire universel) and from directory-enquiry services. A related "liste orange" limits use of your details for marketing while keeping you findable. Requesting the liste rouge is the standard French step for taking your number out of public directories such as PagesBlanches/PagesJaunes, and it pairs with Bloctel (for telemarketing) and GDPR objection requests for a fuller removal.
